Celebration - I Will Not FallCelebration - Open Your Heart
Celebration - What's This Magical: From the new album Hello Paradise, there is something so indescribable about these songs. Everything seems familiar, but nothing feels cliched nor expected. Recommended for fans of Bat For Lashes, Janis Joplin and Arcade Fire. Somehow.

Datadebt - California Special (Eumig & Chinon Remix)Datadebt - Moderator: There's never a bad day for well done bouncey electro pop, all sliced up and ready to serve. Total sunshine happiness, for fans of Rex The Dog.

Dub Kweli - Country Of LovingDub Kweli - Your Gospel: After the "success" of Mos Dub, Kweli's vox get the treatment to some generally muted applause. The whole project doesn't all work, but like it's predecessor, a few tracks really shine through.

Flight - When You Wake Up Feeling Old: For the most part it's full of lame ducks, but I really liked this track off the album "Wisco: A Wisconsin Tribute To Wilco's Summerteeth".

Gunjack - Bring The Change: THERE'S A FUCKING LOON IN MY JUNGLE TRACK! Man, if only we could get some dog barks in there too.
A fabulous new track, mixing new school production aesthetics with that old school pads and sample set that we grew up loving.

Nina Simone - I Put A Spell On You (MiM0SA Remix): The second you hear the strings come in, you just know this is going to be huge. And it joyfully delivers.

Passion Pit - Tonight, Tonight (Smashing Pumpkins cover): It is pretty appropriate that this pitch-perfect band of energetic glee should do such justice to one of the Smashing Pumpkin's high water mark tracks like this. It doesn't sound like the fretted on it too much and spent too long redoing and overdubbing, but it does have a perfect blend of enthusiasm and fresh energy.

Rusko - Got Da Groove ft Gucci Mane: That shout-out of "Gucci!!!" has been ALL OVER THE DAMN PLACE, but this is probably my favourite --and arguably the most perfect-- home for it. Rusko's LP is called OMG, and really, like all albums of this type, pick it up, rip the singles, and sell it. Plenty of goodness, but it's still a producer album, tride and true.

Sufjan Stevens - I Walked: We dropped a track of the EP, but here is something from the new full length LP "The Age of Adz". I'm loving it so far.

The Chap - Nevertheless, The Chap: This song is kind of the perfect theme song a band of this name. As quirky as ever, the new LP "Well Done Europe" isn't quite what I wanted, but if you are a fan, def check it out. This song still makes me smile, though.

The Society of Rockets - Lost in Dreams: From the 2010 EP "The World Inside", this has an epic sea shanty feel. Right before we all get eaten by a whale. But we don't care, pass the grog, rummy.

Thomas Fehlmann - Berliner LuftikusThomas Fehlmann - Speeding: There's no halfway about it, if you're in to "electronic music" you really need to check out this new album "Gute Luft". It's kind of all over the place, it's kind of great, and it will probably appeal to most sensibilities out there.
The main target is the dub techno fans, but there's something here for the classical IDM fans, the vintage Kraftwerk fetishisists, the washed out Morr Music pop fans, the ambient heads, and even the minimal tech club people will be bumping this at the end of a hard evening.
I am not sure yet if it will have staying power, but do yourself a favour and look it up.

Yaaard - I Lit A Candle: A little gem off their split with C Powers, a super sweet lullaby to say goodnight.
